LAS VEGAS, N.M. – The Las Vegas, New Mexico, area Subway® restaurants and Manger Regina Denardo is pleased to announce that women's basketball junior Miranda Martinez has been named the Subway Eat Fresh Student-Athlete of the Week on Monday (Dec. 8).
 
The Las Vegas, New Mexico native had a stellar two weeks in helping the Cowgirls win a trio of games to even their record to 3-3 overall and 2-2 in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play. She started the stretch with seven assists and six rebounds in an 82-64 loss to NCAA Division I opponent Southern Utah on Nov. 29. After three rebounds and a pair of steals in the Cowgirls 70-63 win over regionally-ranked Texas-Permian Basin Tuesday (Dec. 2), she had 10 points and two rebounds in the 78-70 win against Colorado Christian on Friday (Dec. 5) to open up RMAC play.
 
However the former West Las Vegas Don saved the best for last. Despite being the smallest player on the court, Martinez scored 12 points, grabbed eight rebounds, dished out six assists and had a pair of steals as the Cowgirls knocked off regionally-ranked Colorado School of Mines Saturday (Dec. 6), 75-68.
 
New for the 2014-2015 school year, a Subway® Student-Athlete of the Week will be chosen every week for the athletic year. Every student-athlete chosen for the weekly award will be eligible to win the Subway Eat Fresh® Student-Athlete of the Year award following the 2014-2015 academic year. While the weekly award will be based on athletic prowess, the yearly award will be bestowed upon an athlete based on success not only on the playing field, but also in the classroom and community involvement.
